Elle
"Elle wake up!" I wake up to my brother Rylan shaking my shoulders. I look to my left and see that Hannah and Jace are still sleeping.
"Hey hun what's wrong?" Before he can say anything I hear a loud banging noise.
"That's what's wrong. I woke up a few minutes ago to someone banging on the door. I didn't know if you wanted me to answer it." He looks a little scared so I rub his arm and get out of bed.
"No no don't answer it, stay in here with the kids and I'll check it out okay?" He nods and sits on my desk chair. I check my phone.
5:43 AM
I open the front door to see my mom standing there with red rimmed eyes and the smell of alcohol burns my nose from through the screen door.
"Are you fucking serious?" I mumble under my breath as I unlock the second door and let her in.
"Why the fuck would you lock the door? You know I'm coming back!"
"Do you mind? The kids are still sleeping." I lock the door again and start to trudge back to my room but she grabs my arm.
"It sure seems like you're trying to mother MY kids." The stench of alcohol on her breath makes me nauseous so I pull my arm back in disgust.
"Well someone has to." I leave her stumbling alone in the living room and go back to my room.
"It was mom?" Rylans voice startled me again and I jump.
"Shit dude, you've gotta stop doing that." I whisper and look to Hannah and Jace who are now spread out on my bed and I smile at them.
"Well? Was it mom?" I look back at Rylan and nod.
"Why don't you go back to bed? We have another hour before we need to be up." He nods.
"I'm gonna go sleep in my room." He walks out and closes the door before I realize I'm wide awake.
"Great."
I turn on my lamp and sit at my desk with my mirror in front of it and start getting ready for school.
By the time the kids wake up I'm ready, so I have extra time to get Hannah ready and help the boys with whatever they need. I put them on the bus before going to my moms room.
"Wake up, I'm gonna be late." She just groans and turns the other way.
Seriously?
"Hey!" I kick her bed and she groans louder before sitting up.
"What the hell do you want?"
"It's my second day, I'm going to be late." I say through clenched teeth.
Her hands fumble around on her nightstand before throwing me her keys and she lays back down.
I don't even know how to fucking drive.
I sigh and walk outside and get into the drivers seat of my moms SUV.
